Borderworlds Exports application form 8209-2727

- What is your full name?
Matthew "Matt" Mundi

- Where do you live?
Living on board of my ship. Previous address: Planet Los Angeles.

- Where was your last place of employment? What experience do you have?
I was working in an Ageira's optical chip plant on Planet Los Angeles, but I have experience with trading, ship maintenance and flying in convoys.

- To what division are you applying?
I am applying to Shipping Division.

- Do you already own a ship? If so, what kind? If it is not listed above, can you afford one of the ones listed?
I own Series "DL" Border Worlds Transport.

- If you are applying for the Shipping division, what would you name your ship? Why?
My ship would be named Smith, after Adam Smith, a Scottish social philosopher and a pioneer of political economy, who wrote "The Wealth of Nations" back on Earth. Or I can go with Hume, after David Hume, who was also a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist and essayist. One of his books I found in archives is "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion", interesting reading, quote: "Generally speaking, the errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous."

- Why are you interested in working for Border World Exports?
Because you are the single oldest shipping conglomerate in all of Sirius and that means a lot.

-Tell us about yourselves, what are your dislikeskes etc.
I was born on Planet Los Angeles. I never met my father, who supposed to be some navy pilot or something, even though I wore his name, Mundi. My mother didn't want to talk about him much and frankly, I didn't want to know. I grew up in a small quiet neighbourhood, working my ass off in an optical chip plant owned by Ageira. But one day when I was looking for a better job I bumped into someone. Complete stranger, but so similar in looks to me it was astonishing. We started chatting and it turned out he's my step-brother, Enain Mundi, even my mom didn't know about him. We shared the same father, who really was a navy pilot a while ago, but he was injured and started trading. Enain told me his whole story, how he lost his parents, how he almost got killed and how harsh it was among the slaves. At that time he was stationed at Universal Shipping's corporate training academy, because he just started working for them. He already owned 2 ships, Albatross and the DL series border worlds transport. He told me the DL transport brought him luck and he gave it to me saying he didn't need luck anymore. Then he sold the Albatross and bought Stork CT-73 CivAdv Train to suite USIs needs, it was called Fresno. I attended few training courses with him and then started helping him out on the Stork. I learned a lot from him. Even though we looked alike, we were complete opposites. He was relentless and kind at the same time. I started trading myself with the ship he gave me and finally realized what real freedom means. Then I lost contact with him. Later that year I found out he is MIA. Apparently he was running an ordinary trade route when they lost track of him. They didn't find the ship nor any escape pods. It was really weird. I was devastated, he was like a real brother to me. Only questions remained. I set out to find him, using any means necessary. Using my ship and all he taught me I followed in his tracks. I have flown through Omicrons, Omegas and Taus. Not a single trace. I had to fund my search somehow, so I did few trades and transactions that officials should not know about. But now I am tired of all this searching and running and want to amend.

I appreciate you taking the time to look over my application, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Matthew Mundi, Lancaster Trade Center, Newcastle
